Mary Anne Gill: Calls for DHB overhaul welcomed
Swift reaction to the news a major overhaul of the DHB system is on the way.
Health Minister David Clark says there's a lot of issues with the current system, and while nothing is perfect, he thinks it's time to take a fresh look at it.
"In the health sector there is a general view that it is time for some change, it's a sentiment that I have but it is also shared by clinicians and people that work in the sector, it's a long time since we have had a proper look at the model."
There are currently 20 DHBs around the country, but Clark has hinted they could return to a centralised model.
Waikato DHB board member Mary Anne Gill told Mike Hosking she loves what she's hearing.
"Having worked in the system myself as a staff member I've seen the huge health inequities in the broken system, so bring it on."
